Pool and Deck Renovation in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale is full of canals, and a lot of homes sit right on the water. Streets near Las Olas and the older neighborhoods around it hold plenty of mid-century and later homes with pools that are decades old. Newer construction and renovations have replaced some of them, and condo and townhome buildings have added their own pools and decks. Every property needs its own look.

Waterfront homes deal with salt air, humidity and, in some spots, standing water after storms. Metal hardware, equipment and enclosure parts corrode faster, and some surfaces wear faster too. If you live on a canal or near the beach, include fasteners, rails and pool equipment in the plan. It makes sense to replace corroded parts while the deck is open.

The water table is high, and low-lying streets can stay wet after heavy rain. That affects when a pool can be drained and how the deck drains around it. A deck that slopes toward the house or holds water causes slipperiness, staining and sealer failure. We check drainage as part of every deck conversation and flag anything that needs to be fixed rather than covered.

Older pools from the mid-century era often have worn plaster, tired tile and coping that has cracked or lifted. Many have also been patched. If a pool has had several repairs, tell us, because the history changes the plan. Some pools are worth a full renovation. Others just need a new surface and a clean-up of the edge. We say which when we see it.

Condo buildings and HOAs add approvals, insurance paperwork and working-hour limits, and some neighborhoods review exterior changes. Ask before you commit to samples. Permit requirements are set by the city's building department and depend on the scope. We confirm what applies to your address before the work begins and tell you what we find.
